Coaches Notes: 
Blow through the WOD as quickly as humanly possible but for the Strength portion, take your time and move slowly and use good form throughout your movements. My preferred cardio for this workout is boxing, mountain climbers, plyo, ect, ect, ect...I also do cardio on my 3 minute rest periods to burn more fat, increase my VO2 Max, and keep the heart going.

Spartan Workout- Pyramid Burpees

If you're going through hell, keep going.
-Winston Churchill

For Time

Pyramid Burpees
100 burpees broken into 19 sets. Looks like this:

1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1

Rest as needed between sets but try and keep a steady burpee rhythm or cadence during a set.
Burpees are an artform - experiment with 'pace' in your relationship with burpees. Rush things and you'll find yourself on your back gasping prematurely.

For the beginner:
Cut the workout in half: 1-2-3-4-5-4-3-2-1

SEALFIT Operators WOD

Day: 6
Warm-up: Begin with a 15 minute jog and start light by practicing 2 sets of 5 - 10 reps of each exercise before stretching out the lower back and shoulders. Make sure they're warmed up prior to beginning the WOD.

WOD: 75 of each exercise for time: 20" Box Jumps, Cleans (from the deck) with 90 lbs, 55 lb dumbbell or kettle bell swings, pull-ups, knees to elbows. Kettle bell or dumbbell swings need to clear at least above the eyes and for each box jump or clean the hips need to open up all the way. No need to complete a single set a time. Break them into parts. 

Strength: rest

Endurance: Ruck march with 35 lbs between 30 and 45 minutes. Keep a consistent pace throughout.

Coach's comments: Equipment needed- Olympic bar and weights. Wait at least 3+ hours after the strength and WOD before starting the endurance. Post workout hydrate, stretch, roll out, and ice if necessary.
